AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a transmitter assembly for a self-contained breathing apparatus that has a redundant pressure value indicator. This means that there are two ways to indicate the pressure of the gas in the tank: one through a visual indicator and another through a wireless transmitter. The assembly also has a control module that powers all three components: the visual indicator, wireless transmitter, and control module. This ensures that the gas pressure value is always visible and can be easily monitored by a dive computer.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is the need for a device that provides a clear visual indication of the amount of gas in a self-contained breathing apparatus storage tank, which is visible to the wearer and to those nearby. This is important because the amount of remaining air in the tank becomes critically important to the well-being of the user, and current systems may not always provide reliable information or may not be operable in certain situations.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Embodiments of the invention are often described hereinbelow with respect to their application to scuba diving. However, one skilled in the art will recognize that this invention is not necessarily limited to scuba diving applications. As explained above, emergency rescue workers, firefighters, mountain climbers, etc. often use some kind of self-contained breathing apparatus, and may therefore benefit from various aspects of the invention herein described.

[0023]FIG. 1 is an illustration of a diver 100 using scuba gear that includes gas storage tank 101 and incorporates a wireless pressure data transmitter 102, pressure sensor 106, and visual indicator 104, constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. In embodiments of the invention described herein, the wireless transmitter 102 requires a simple visual indicator 104 that is useable before and during the dive. In particular embodiments of the invention, the visual indicator 104 is powered from the transmitter ...

Abstract

A transmitter assembly with redundant pressure value indicator for a self-contained breathing apparatus is provided. The transmitter assembly with redundant pressure value indicator includes a wireless transmitter configured to transmit gas pressure data for a gas storage tank to a dive computer. The gas pressure data is retrieved from a pressure sensor coupled to the wireless transmitter. The transmitter assembly with redundant pressure value indicator also has a visual indicator configured to indicate a gas pressure value for gas in the storage tank. The visual indicator and wireless transmitter are coupled to a control module. Further, the wireless transmitter, control module, and visual indicator share a power source.
